Hello Bonnie Lillywhite.
Thank you for commenting on this blog.
I am not responding in time for Christmas but the family history book is truly exciting.
At our last family reunion we had an auction as a fundraiser to support the family organization and there were some truly fun framed photos prints of members Ebeneser's line.
Both our current president Al Cordon and vice president Ben Horne are in your same line.
Their emails should be available on the George and Mary Family website.
Email me if you don't have the website address. I ame assuming you found this blog through the website.

There were pictures taken of the last reunion in Lava Hot Springs.
I tried once to make tham available on line but I was not succussful. I will try again. We really did have an enjoyable time at the last reunion and it was exciting to met some family menbers who came to a reunion for the first time.
I am not the George and Mary Family Oranization President any more but last night I was able to be an a conference call with the new Family leaders as they were planning a reunion for June. When I was President the past presidents were so generious about sharing to help me get up to speed. Ben Horne (Ebeniser) who is the VP is the same generation as I am but younger and has a better grasp on the new tecnology which can be used to help connect our family.

As the plans for the reunion get finalized I think the information will be available on the family website again.

Grateful for the comments.

My wife Shauna and I have been serving part time in The Inner City Mission Project here in Salt Lake with a Spanish branch. It seems we have been on a dead run for the last two years.

It has been a while since I have checked the blog an was excited that there had been some comments. This was the exact purpose for the blog. While I was president I got a real desire to help connect the Swainston family. After studying the options and consulting with Margret (George JRs Family) who maintains the family website I determined that even though I am not an experienced blogger.
Anyone with helpful comments to make this a very worthwhile project your comments are very welcome.

For those of you who left an email I will respond with an email as well as comment here on the blog.
